13 Magical Christmas Gift Ideas For The Potterhead In Your Life

Because while Christmas time might be magical, gift buying is usually not as alluring.

Christmas shopping can truly be a pain, especially for someone who is difficult to find a gift for. If you know the recipient lives and breathes "Harry Potter" then look no further, the master will tell you all about it. Sit back, relax, and get ready to find the perfect present.

1. Sherpa Throw Blanket

December is a frigid month and when your little Potterhead as a "Harry Potter" movie marathon (because they're played during the holidays!), they would most likely love to be able to cuddle up with their sherpa themed blanket.

2. Wand Replicas

The shop also has interactive wands! Albeit, they are only interactive with the Universal Harry Potter parks, they're still pretty cool. There are interactive wands that come in some replicas like Harry's or Hermione's. If you do purchase an interactive wand, it comes with a map with every place in the park with the corresponding spell and wand movement. Yer a wizard, Harry.

3. Trivial Pursuit

As a proud Ravenclaw, showcasing my knowledge is a must and honestly just a chance for me to flex on my friends. Make it interesting by if you get a question wrong, you have to take a shot of alcoholic butterbeer or pumpkin juice (if you and your players are of legal age).

4. Sorting House Candle

This Etsy shop also has some other "Harry Potter"-inspired scents so if you are unsure of the person's house or just don't like the idea of a candle changing color, you have options.

5. Makeup Brushes

Magical makeup is only for the best of the best. This set also comes with a pouch to store and cleansing brush mat.

6. House Scarf Camera Strap

Not only is this gift super creative, it will keep your photographer friend cozy during the chilly months of photo shoots outside! Again, make sure you know what house they're in!

7. Christmas Ornament/s

The Universal shop has a great array of different ornaments to choose from including the traditional ornament ball, the Hogwarts Express, and characters' Yule Ball outfits. And you don't have to travel all the way to Florida or California to purchase. We love shipping.

8. Alex and Ani Collection

Jewelry may not be said person's thing, but they'll definitely wear it for special occasions.

9. House Apparel

Repping whether you're a Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin for a Potterhead is like repping your all-time favorite football team or the college that you attend, you can never have too much merch. All of the sites linked in this article have apparel, just make sure that you know what house they are in otherwise it will be very awkward when they open the present. Also, be mindful of their own personal style.

10. "Harry Potter" Pop! Advent Calendar

Not only are advent calendars are amazing, but when you throw "Harry Potter" and Pop! collectibles into the mix, it's hard to top. Other popular "Harry Potter"-themed advent calendars include socks and candies. Of course, the magical candies.

11. Travel Mug

Reduce your plastic intake with a reusable cup. The environment and your wallet will thank you. Where do I pour the butterbeer?

12. Cookbook

I can't guarantee everything will taste as good as Mrs. Weasley's cooking, but one can only try their hardest.

13. A Trip To The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando

OK, so maybe this one is a little over the top and too expensive. A girl can dream. I went for my high school graduation in 2018 and let's just say, there were no words to describe the feelings as you walked through the parks and attractions. I will be going again this Christmas and am overly ecstatic to see all of the holiday decorations up.

With a fandom as large as this, you will never be short of finding a gift for your little Potterhead. It doesn't have to be expensive or over the top (although the trip to Universal is pretty amazing), it's always the thought that counts. Always.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
